Embodiment Construction
[0041]Referring first to FIG. 1, this illustrates an example of a prior art substrate 10 manufactured according to EP-A-860298 whereby a security element, in the form of single wide thread 11, is embedded into a paper substrate 10. In this context a wide thread is considered to be any thread having a width greater than 2 mm. Such wide threads have proved to be commercially successful and the additional exposed area allows for better use of optically variable devices and features such as diffractive elements, thin film interference devices, liquid crystal layers, OVI® layers and the like. This is particularly the case if such devices are to be utilised in combination with other features, such as those described in EP-A-319157.
[0042]However paper incorporating wide threads requires sophisticated paper making equipment and can be costly to produce. The increased complexity of production, though acceptable and indeed beneficial for some applications, is not always appropriate for all ty...
